Have been to two dealers, one in Canon, the the other in Colorado Springs. They want me to drive in while showing the Codes. Friends back east have not a clue what distances are here in the High Country. Bottom line is that they were of no help. I have gone through this before.
Years ago, a new engine had to be re tourqued after 1,000 miles. The American Physics boys found a way to tourque down the bolts to a given FLbs, then turn them another given Degress. This was called a Strech Bolt. I went round and round with the Dealers. Finally I came up with the fact that this was the new practice, HOWEVER, it was only for the Gas engine, NOT a Diesel, which I had. Another area was the Anti Freeze. Every one knows that this is for Freeze Protection. Not intirely true. Another factor is Electro Chemical. Two different metals in contact will cause Corrosion. Copper and Iron for example. If you use plain tap water, the salts will work on the copper, or Aluminum which are the metals most radiators are made of. Thus you Never want to add anything but Distilled water to the Radiator or the Battery. However we Americans Know better.
Took a while, but I did track down both of the Latter.
The steering, I am still working on. For the United States Government to act, and I got this straight from the Highway Safety, is to wait until someone Dies.
